What is the correct pronunciation of words ending in -g? Such as:
In many films and TV series I heard something like "lustich", "zwanzich" and so forth, however, while speaking to a native German, they told me it is wrong pronunciation and that it should be "lustik", "heftik", like the final sound of the word "Tag".
Is -ch or -k the correct one?
Die korrekte Aussprache ist -ch, nach Wikpedia und §35 Grammatikduden. -k ist aber die Standardaussprache im Süden. Es gibt auch Mischformen, aus irgendeinem Grunde spreche ich es mal so, mal so aus.
